Chief Varney says that of the many
topics brought to the attention of the
officers, none received as much at
tention as the problem of auto thefts.
All . officers agreed that efforts to
prevent thefts bad failed. Different
plans for the apprehension of thieves
were presented, one of the most in
teresting being the system In present
use by the authorities of San Fran
cisco. A sub-station equipped with a
speedy police car Is established at
each road leading Into the cities and

Informed as to thefts. Chief Johnsoi
of Portland stated that 940 cars bad
been stolen in that city during m-
past year of which all but 180 were
recovered.
The assemblage . which was com
posed of officers from nearly every
large city in the United States was
unanimous in the assertion that auto
thefts re encouraged by the lack of
severe laws and by the present leni
ent attitude of the courts. Many of
the officers admitted that they them
selves were inclined to be less strict
with car thieves than other criminals.
One of the explanations for this at
titude was. that many of the thefts
are committed by oy riderse.
